how do you stop the whining noise that comes from the ladders on the roof rack,
got a nice quite van but the silence is drowned out by the ladders, any ideas

[steve rix]

Dont worry about it, its the window cleaners song

[H S and Son]

Tie them to your number plate and drag them along behind your van.

Its my little joke mate, youll see it regularly 

[EandM]

Obviously if you have access to a wind tunnel, MIRA might oblige for instance, you could measure the Drag Coefficient with the ladders on and off, compare the differing CD and use the figures to create either:
A. A carefully sculptured shape, preferably triangular that would disrupt or alter the flow of air over the ladders.
B. Some kind of acoustic or sound wave generator that could produce an exactly opposite out of phase sound to cancel out the whine.
Although this would need to be variable to account for changes in speed, barometric pressure and air density.
C. Go WFP.

I get worse whining coming from the passenger seat when my other half is out with me,

"whats that damp smell""

 Look at all the mars wrappers on the floor"

give me a noisy ladder any day

[Erithwc]

if its a aframe ladder i found if u turn it around so that the top of the ladder is a the back of the car/van it reduces the amount noise   

[steven ainger]

No,
Its a titan double, was a triple but 1 section is left at home.
It soumds like the noise is coming from air flowing past the rungs.
So all  wfpers out there,
Do you carry any sort of ladders/ telescopic or fold up,
Or have you got rid of ladders altogether

[awcs]

slow down turn the radio up and sing easy
